Abstract

Efforts to increase sales of car/motorcycle polish products have been carried out by the Graphene Guard business incubator. This product is a downstream research result of lecturer/researcher at the Faculty of Engineering, Riau University. As a new product and not yet known to the public, special strategies are needed to increase sales. In the initial stage, an online and offline sales strategy was carried out, but apparently it did not show encouraging results even though promotions had been carried out. It was felt that a reseller strategy needed to be implemented. The reseller strategy, especially offline resellers, was addressed to the students at Riau University with attractive prices and bonuses. This strategy generated significant sales in a relatively short time. The phenomenon where offline reseller sales results were very different from conventional sales strategies reflecting the changes in consumer behavior and increasingly complex market dynamics. Reseller marketing strategies, especially when carried out by individuals or small groups, often conveyed a strong sense of personalization and trust. In this strategy, focus was given to product advantages, customer testimonials, and real interactions. This created high levels of trust in consumers, and allowed them to feel confident in purchasing the product. This strategy can be a valuable experience for marketing of new products.

Abstract

Hydrocarbon-impeded soil (HIS) is solid waste from spills or leaks during industrial activities that negatively impact the environment. This study aims to utilize HIS as catalyst support on MnO2 to degrade RhB (RhB) solution using Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and to determine the optimum conditions for the catalyst to degrade RhB. The catalyst was synthesized by reacting HIS, calcined with KMnO4 with various catalyst supports with high and low Total contain Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH). The process degradation of Rhodamine Solution was carried out with various catalysts, PMS, and RhB concentrations. The catalyst was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Nitrogen gas adsorption-desorption (BET), and Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Disperse Spectroscope (SEM-EDX). In this study,  the best catalyst performance was MnO2@H-TPH, which could activate PMS to degrade RhB with dye removal of 98% in about 180 min, at conditions 10 g/L RhB, 0.1 g/L catalyst, and 3 g/L PMS with the activation energy of 16.3 kJ/mol.

Abstract

Green chemistry has become trending recently, and the discovery of environmentally friendly catalysts is mandatory. Activated carbons (ACs) are one of the most environmentally friendly yet cheap materials that have the potential for catalyst application. Three commercially available ACs from Pancasari, Norit, and Chemical Supply were used as metal-free catalysts for advanced oxidation process (AOP) phenol removal in water in the presence of oxidants peroxydisulfate (PDS), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). It was found that ACs were effective to be used as catalysts for activating those oxidants to oxidize phenol in AOP reactions. In this study, the surface area of the catalyst significantly improved the phenol removal efficiency. ACs Pancasari (ACP) with the highest surface area has the best degradation performance of phenol removal with up to 99% removal efficiency in 60 minutes under the condition of [phenol] = 30 mg L-1, [ACP] = 0.2 g L-1, [PDS] = 3.3 mmol L-1, and T = 25oC. it was also found that the degradation process was significantly influenced by reaction temperature. Nevertheless, in this study, ACs display the potential as catalysts in the AOP process for wastewater treatments.

Abstract

The need of dissolving pulp (DP) for rayon fiber production is increasing rapidly in recent years. Sustainable sources of DP raw materials and an effective manufacturing process are urgently required. This study aims to manufacture dissolving pulp (DP) with high brightness from Sansevieria-trifasciata (ST) fiber through the pre-hydrolysis, soda-Anthraquinone (Soda-AQ) cooking, and chlorine-free bleaching processes. The cellulose content, kappa number, pulp yield, and viscosity were analyzed. The results showed that the ?-cellulose content in ST raw material (39.43%) was relatively similar to the ?-cellulose content in Acacia pulping kraft (39.2%). Furthermore, the variations in pre-hydrolysis time affected the Kappa number, pulp yield, and viscosity. The DP obtained by the elementary chlorine-free (ECF) bleaching process had a viscosity of 9.3 cP, ?-cellulose content of 97.7%, and the brightness of 90.1% which was higher than the ISO standard of pulp brightness. The high DP brightness obtained from this unique combination of pre-hydrolysis, soda-AQ cooking and chlorine-free bleaching sequences has great potential for further development, as it can be used in viscose rayon staple fibers production.

Abstract

This article explains various synthesis methods for rGO-TiO2 materials and their applications in colored wastewater treatment. The methods discussed include hydrothermal, sol-gel, ultrasonication, wet impregnation, electrospinning, and electrophoresis. Each method has its own advantages: the hydrothermal and sol-gel methods enhance photocatalytic activity through the integration of TiO2 and rGO; ultrasonication and wet impregnation methods are effective in uniquely improving photocatalytic performance; while electrophoresis (EPD) and electrospinning methods excel in forming high-quality coatings and nanofibers that boost photocatalytic activity. The choice of method depends on the specific application and desired material properties. The hydrothermal and sol-gel methods are well-suited for photocatalytic applications, while EPD and electrospinning methods are superior for other applications, such as improving photovoltaic performance.

Abstract

Acacia crassicarpa wood is widely used in Indonesia as a raw material for dissolving pulp (DP) by the kraft-cooking process. Given that Indonesia has a rich variety and abundance of cellulose-rich wood, it is deemed crucial to research alternative raw materials, such as Terminalia catappa wood. As an alternative source of raw material, Terminalia catappa possesses excellent adaptability to various environmental conditions and is easy to grow everywhere. The current research sought to produce DP using the mixtures of materials from these two plant species as raw materials by pre-hydrolysis, kraft-cooking, and Elementary Chlorine Free (ECF) bleaching. The DP produced had ISO brightness > 88%, alpha-cellulose content > 94%, viscosity > 6.2 cP, and pentosan content of 2.54%. The DP quality traits have met the SNI 938:2017 standards for rayon-grade pulp. Acacia Crassicarpa and Terminalia Catappa are the prospective wood mixture for producing high-quality dissolving pulp via the kraft-cooking process.

Abstract

Nanocellulose is widely applied in various fields due to its superior characteristics. Several methods have been developed to synthesize it, but they still have limitedness as being non-eco-friendly and inefficient use. Therefore, the synthesis of nanocellulose from sustainable sources is being developed using a simple and eco-friendly method. This study successfully produced a low viscosity gel suspension of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) from bacterial cellulose (BC) derived from Nata de Coco using a high shear mixer (HSM). The mixture of BC and water in a 1:1 ratio was processed with various rotational speeds and times in the HSM. The suspension result was characterized using an Ostwald viscometer, UV-vis spectrophotometer, lux meter, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), particle size analyzer (PSA), and x-ray diffraction (XRD). Based on the characterization, it was confirmed that higher rotational speeds and extended processing times reduced the suspension viscosity and increased light transmittance, indicating a reduction in BC size to the submicron/nanometer scale. The best light transmittance was achieved with the HSM at 4500 rpm for 180 min, resulting in a viscosity drop from 232.67 mPa.s to 1.45 mPa.s. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the CNF retained its fibrous structure with nanometer-scale widths and high porosity without significant changes in crystallinity.

Abstract

Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are generally made by coating fabrics with conductive particles to impart conductive and electromagnetic properties to textile fibers and filaments. E-textile can be made by several methods, such as "dip and dry", pad-dry, screen-printing, or injeksi printing. Lyocell is the latest generation of cellulose fibers that are used as textile raw materials. Lyocell has naturally hyperhydrophilic properties and greater moisture absorption. Then, graphene is a nanomaterial composed of carbon atoms with a hexagonal structure, it has a very high conductivity value, reaching 104 S/cm. Graphene can be produced in several forms, such as very few layer graphene (VFLG). This paper aims to improve understanding of the research and review of electronic textiles created by combining lyocell textile with very few layer graphene (VFLG). This composition can enable the formation of sustainable electronic textile composites.
